    • The real fun starts when she gets big enough to start attempting to shinny over the railing.
    • Finally got sit outside weather. Our deck is a great play pen so i get about 5 min of this a day now. And times up time to stop the toddler from trying to self destruct.
    • For fasteners, I use these drawers from the hardware store I worked at long ago. When we switched suppliers, they installed new drawers so I took home a bunch of these (were destined for the landfill). Over the years I gave away a lot of them, just keeping 3 units of 3 drawers each. I kept extra dividers in case I want to adjust the layout. I keep common (for me) sized wood screws, kreg screws, finish/fender/standard washers, a couple lath and sheet metal screws, and a small selection of machine screws and nuts. Drywall and decking screws are stored with my home project stuff. Anything I don’t keep on hand is usually something I plan for in a project and have time to buy/order. I have a couple metal drawer units that I use for jig parts, picture frame parts, and other smaller things that can be grouped together. 
    • I spent a little time on the cabinet today, cutting a rabbet / rebate for the back panel to fit in. An unfortunate router bit slippage left a gouge. It will be really had to see inside the finished piece, I'll probably just glue in a patch. However, distrust of the machine forced me to complete the task with chisels and router planes. Now for an argument against dragging a project out as ling as this one: I stacked the rabbeted case on top of the back panel so I could scribe the panel for trimming. Much to my surprise, rather than being about an inch wider than the case as planned, the panel was a full slat too narrow! Somewhere in the downtime between shop sessions, I managed to lose track of the measurement. The rest of my shop time today went toward milling, shaping, and gluing 2 more slats to the panel to ensure enough width. Argh.
    • We’ve been getting a fair amount of rain these past few days. My neighbor sent me this and said he was glad he didn’t heed his wife’s demand to get rid of the old tire in his back yard.
